उत्तर


Let ABCD be the rectangle inscribed in a semicircle of radius 1 unit such that the vertices A and B lie on the diameter.
Let AB = DC = x and BC = AD = y.
Let O be the centre of the semicircle.
Join OC and OD. Then OC = OD = radius =  1.
Also, AD = BC and m∠A = m∠B = 90°.
∴ OA= OB

∴ OB = `(1)/(2) "AB" = x/(2)`

In right angled triangle OBC,
OB2 + BC2 = OC2

∴ `(x/2)^2 + y^2` = 12

∴ y2 = `1 - x^2/(4) = (1)/(4)(4 - x^2)`

∴ y = `(1)/(2)sqrt(4 - x^2)`        ...[∵ y > 0]

Also of the triangle 
= xy

= `x.(1)/(2)sqrt(4 - x^2)`

Let f(x) = `(1)/(2) xx sqrt(4 - x^2)`

= `(1)/(2)sqrt(4x2 - x^4)`

∴ f'(x) = `(1)/(2)d/dx(sqrt(4x^2 - x^4))`

= `(1)/(2) xx (1)/(2sqrt(4x^2 - x^4)) xx.d/dx(4x^2 - x^4)`

= `(1)/(4sqrt(4x^2 - x^4)) xx (4 xx 2x - 4x^3)`

= `(4x(2 - x2))/(4xsqrt(4 - x^2)`

= `(2 - x^2)/sqrt(4 - x^2)`      ...[∵ x ≠ 0]

and 

f"(x) = `d/dx((2 - x^2)/sqrt(4 - x^2))`

= `d/dx[((4 - x^2) - 2)/sqrt(4 - x^2)]`

= `d/dx[sqrt(4 - x^2) - (2)/sqrt(4 - x^2)]`

= `d/dx(sqrt(4 - x^2)) - 2d/dx(4 - x^2)^(-1/2)`

= `(1)/(2sqrt(4 - x^2)).d/dx(4- x^2) - 2(-1/2)(4 - x^2)^(-3/2).d/dx(4 - x^2)`

= `(1)/(2sqrt(4 -+ x^2)) xx (0 - 2x)  + (1)/(4 - x^2)^(3/2) xx (0 - 2x)`

= `-x/sqrt(4 - x^2) - (2x)/(4 - x^2)^(3/2)`

= `(-x(4 - x^2) - 2x)/(4 - x^2)^(3/2)`

= `(-4x + x^3 - 2x)/(4 - x^2)^(3/2)`

= `(x^3 - 6x)/(4 - x^2)^(3/2)`
For maximum value of f(x),f'(x) = 0

∴ `(2 - x^2)/sqrt(4 - x^2)` = 0

∴ 2 – x2 = 0
∴ x2 = 2
∴ x = `sqrt(2)`         ...[∵ x > 0]

Now, f"`(sqrt(2)) = ((sqrt(2))^3 - 6sqrt(2))/[4 - (sqrt(2))^2]^(3/2)`

= `(-4sqrt(2))/(2sqrt(2))`
= – 2 < 0

∴ by the second derivative test, f is maximum when x = `sqrt(2)`

When `x = sqrt(2), y = (1)/(2)sqrt(4 - x^2)`

= `(1)/(2)sqrt(4 - 2)`

= `(1)/(2) xx sqrt(2)`

= `(1)/sqrt(2)`

∴ `x = sqrt(2) and y = (1)/sqrt(2)`

Hence, the area of the rectangle is maximum (i.e. rectangle has the largest size) when its length is `sqrt(2)` units and breadth is `(1)/sqrt(2)`unit.

If Mr. Rane order x chairs at the price p = (2x2 - 12x - 192) per chair. How many chairs should he order so that the cost of deal is minimum?

Solution: Let Mr. Rane order x chairs.

Then the total price of x chairs = p·x = (2x2 - 12x- 192)x

= 2x3 - 12x2 - 192x

Let f(x) = 2x3 - 12x2 - 192x

∴ f'(x) = `square` and f''(x) = `square`

f'(x ) = 0 gives x = `square` and f''(8) = `square` > 0

∴ f is minimum when x = 8

Hence, Mr. Rane should order 8 chairs for minimum cost of deal.
